Carl and Greta Anderson opened the first Anderson’s Frozen Custard in the Bronx, New York in 1946. The pair became homesick for Buffalo and later opened their second custard stand on Kenmore Avenue in 1947. Known for their quality ingredients and hard work, the Anderson’s reputation in the community led to great success and a third, larger custard stand that remains today on Sheridan Drive in Buffalo, NY opened in 1953. The Sheridan Drive location has been remodeled over time, with many of the same elements including their iconic Anderson’s sign remaining even today.

In the mid-80’s, son and daughter Keith and Holly Anderson took over the family business that spawned 6 Erie County locations and a franchise location in Lockport, NY. The brother and sister of original owner’s Carl and Greta Anderson continue to run the family business today together with their team of store managers and service members across all 6 locations.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Nov. 22, 2016

Anderson’s Frozen Custard Inc., is recalling its “Pumpkin Ice Cream Pies” because they may contain undeclared peanuts. People who have allergies to peanuts run the risk of serious or life threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

The Pumpkin Ice Cream Pies were distributed in Erie and Niagara counties, through Anderson’s Locations and through Oliver’s Chocolates in Batavia between September 15, 2016 through November 15, 2016. The product comes in a 9” clear dome plastic container. All lot numbers are included.

The recall was initiated after it was discovered that product containing peanuts was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of peanuts.

Consumers who purchased Anderson’s Pumpkin Ice Cream Pies are urged to return them to any Anderson’s location for a full refund.

We thank our guests for their attention to this matter and for their patronage. We are very sorry for this matter.

Giving & Creating Smiles to the Kids in WNY

Nov 3, 2016

Giving & Creating Smiles!

This is our Mission each day at Anderson’s. We are proud of our teammates who are committed to serving our guests by that mission when they are at work. We also have been honored to work with many teammates who choose to exemplify this mission in their daily lives, outside of Anderson’s.

One such Mission Maker is Michaela Kowalick, an alumni Guest Server from our West Amherst store. In 2007 she singlehandedly started a Toy Drive in her neighborhood for the Christmas holiday. She couldn’t envision what it would be like to have a child wake up on the holiday and not have a new toy to open and enjoy. She created flyers, knocked on doors and rallied friends, family and neighbors to support her mission. The toy drive has become an annual project and has over the last 6 years, donated hundreds of toys to Women’s & Children’s Hospital of Buffalo, Haven House, & St Christopher’s Outreach, Tonawanda.

This is our 4th year partnering with Michaela in the Toy Drive which will benefit area children via the Western New York Heroes program. The mission of the WNY Heroes is to provide veterans, members of the armed services, and widows & children of deceased veterans with access to essential services, resources and support. In the last 4 years, our awesome guests have donated over 2400 toys to the kids!!

We are asking you, our guest to please help us again this year in Giving & Creating Smiles to these WNY children this holiday season. Please consider donating a new, unwrapped Toy appropriate for ages 12 and under.

It will be our pleasure to give to you a Dessert Dollar certificate as a thank you for donating a toy.

Toys will be collected at our 6 Erie County Anderson’s locations Nov 12 thru December 8.

picture shown: Michaela and the hundreds of Toys being delivered to WNY Heroes Founder Chris Krieger
